Bangladesh pull off historic upset in Darwin on back of Mehidy five-for

Bangladesh achieved a historic nine-wicket victory over World No. 1 Australia in the 1st Test at Marrara Oval in Darwin. The victory marks Bangladesh's first-ever Test win on Australian soil.

Historic Triumph: Chasing a modest target of 57 on Day 4, Mominul Haque (30*) and Shadman Islam (25*) comfortably guided Bangladesh home at 57/1. Mehidy's Five-For: Mehidy Hasan Miraz led the second-innings bowling effort, collecting figures of 5 for 66—his 15th Test five-wicket haul—to bowl Australia out for 284.

Green's Lone Resistance: Cameron Green fought valiantly for Australia, scoring his third Test century (104 off 201 balls) during a nearly five-hour stay at the crease, though he received little support from the lower order.

Mahmud's Match Impact: Fast bowler Hasan Mahmud finished with nine wickets in the match (6/55 and 3/56), including removing Green via an inside edge that hit the stumps.

Spin Masterclass: Mehidy Hasan Miraz produced a beauty that drifted away to bowl Beau Webster through off-stump, before forcing Pat Cummins to edge to Shadman Islam at short leg.

Green's Solitary Resistance: Cameron Green held firm for Australia, battling for nearly five hours to reach his third Test century (104 off 201 balls). Following Mitchell Starc's dismissal to Taskin Ahmed, Green hit a six over midwicket off Taskin, who dropped a difficult return chance off the very next ball.

Mahmud Strikes: Najmul Hossain Shanto brought back Hasan Mahmud, who ended Green's stay when a delivery nipped back and kept low to take an inside edge onto the stumps. Innings Concluded: Mehidy trapped Nathan Lyon lbw to wrap up the innings, completing his third overseas Test five-wicket haul (5 for 66) and his 15th overall.

Bangladesh 426 (Tanzid 101, Shanto 84, Mehidy 65, Hazlewood 6-89) and 57 for 1 (Mominul 30*, Shadman 25*) beat Australia 198 (Smith 71, Mahmud 6-55, Ebadot 2-39) and 284 (Green 104, Smith 44, Mehidy 5-66, Mahmud 3-56) by nine wickets
